but you don't have to step up if its one of those buses that can lower themselves to pavement level and London taxis you have to step up to get in them

Buses used to be open topped whereas Hansom Cabs were fully enclosed.

Dont ya love kids, god bless them. Cant think of an original answer, except that a taxi has more exits than a bus. Get out of a Taxi and Get off the bus. I have no honest explanation for what i just said. Tony Oz lol

You get in and out of a taxi and open and close the door. You get on and off a bus and the door closes automatically. I think.... Lindy;-))
